Description: Maynards Wine Pastilles 180g Bag. Fruit Flavour Wine Pastilles.

Newest Review: ... of a Maynard's Wine Gum. If you like those, as I do, you'll find Wine Pastilles very tasty indeed. Maynard's Wine Pastilles ... more

 ... really ought to be better known than they are: I still encounter people who've never heard of them, let alone actually tasted some. The cross between a fruit pastille and a wine gum (no capital letters here as I'm speaking generically now!) is actually extremely successful, and the well-established and popular Maynard's taste is precisely what you would expect. It would be nice if they could use a vegetarian substitute for the gelatine, but if this is not a concern for you then Wine Pastilles come highly recommended....more

Oh dear, another confectionery review from me... ah well, it's only a couple of months until Christmas, so that's my (feeble) excuse! Maynards have been around for a very long time indeed - since the late 19th century, in fact - although these days they are part of the massive Cadbury Trebor Bassett empire, itself at the time of writing under threat of takeover. Maynards are surely best known for their tremendously popular Wine Gums, but a few years ago they decided to launch a few other products, and these Wine Pastilles (a 2001 introduction) are an example of this slight expansion. You can buy Wine Pastilles either in a bag weighing 180g, as illustrated here ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Mmmmm wine! Oh.. there's no wine =( (290 words)

I love sweets especially those which I can chew. I've been buying wine gums and fruit pastilles for years. So when Wine Pastilles were bought out I decided to try them as they seemed like the perfect sweet, a mixture. They are of course produced by Maynards who have made both the wine gums and the fruit pastilles. I trust the Maynards brand as they have been around for almost 130 years so they have had a lot of time to get the perfect recipes. Wine Pastilles have been around since 200 so they are now fairly popular. They come in a green packet with the Maynards logo on it and pictures of the Wine Pastilles plus all of the nutritional information. They come in ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Maynards Wine Pastilles: YOU JUST GOTTA CHEW (500 words)

Maynards were originally a family business which was started by Charles Riley Maynard in 1880 who made the sweets with his brother Tom. His wife Sarah Ann took good care of the customers. They launched Maynards as a company in 1896. Wine Pastilles were added to the range in 2001 and are a combination of Maynards two best sellers which are Wine Gums and Fruit Pastilles. Although the main packaging holds the Maynards name, they are in fact a part of the Trebor company. You can find these on the shelves by their distinctive green packaging, now I actually bought a multi pack of 4 tubes but they can be sold separately or as a larger pack. ...  Read the complete review
